Then the exe would be copied to the user's local drive, somewhere in %appdata%\dmitry\temp or some such folder, and any further decisions of M$ in regards of "this exe is staying open too long and holding up the handle... lemme close it for a while" would become irrelevant. No network, no problem.

Let me ask you a conceptual question (if this is also a violation of the owners' right, feel free to ignore).
Say, your loaded put the EXE into the local drive folder. Then you need to update your EXE. You do that on the shared folder. But the user who has the EXE open from the previous loader session will not be updated until they close the app and open it again. Correct?
